Peaks and Pints Pop-Up Pour: Migration Brewing

What do Migration Brewing in Portland and Peaks and Pints have in common? We’ve keep Northwest logging alive. We both have been described as “woody” — Migration Brewing wooding-up their original location more so than us with wood inside, outside and all over their oversized patio. The northeast Portland staple of the city’s new wave of breweries that opened in 2010 has added a production facility and brewpub in Gresham filling the 20,000 sq. ft. building with 17,000 housing a new 20bbl brewhouse and the rest a brewpub. The added production allows Columbia Distributing to distribute Migration craft beer to the South Puget Sound, which is cause for celebration. Peaks and Pints will host a pop-up tap night with Migration Wednesday, Jan. 23 that we call “Peaks and Pints Pop-Up: Migration Brewing.” Catchy, huh?

Peaks and Pints will tap the follow Migration craft beers:
